Federal Computer Week's July 26 editorial, "E-bias," suggests that the U.S. Postal Service discourages people from using its electronic transactions. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Postal Service officials have implemented a number of initiatives designed to expand customer access to online products and services. These initiatives are integral to the Postmaster General's Transformation Plan that was submitted to Congress in 2002.
That plan provides a blueprint for the steps the Postal Service would take to keep the service financially viable, continue to fulfill our universal service mission, and expand access to our products and services.
Our efforts have found an appreciative audience, as demonstrated by the incredible customer response we have received to our Web site and by the recognition from the online community.
USPS' Web site, www.usps.com, is extremely popular with the American people. Last year, more than 176 million consumers visited the site and conducted 25.4 million paid transactions. Also this year, we received the prestigious Grace Hopper Government Technology Leadership Award for improving services to citizens and enterprise through our Web-based self-services.
We recognize that ours is a busy world and not everyone has time to go to a post office. And that's exactly why we designed the Web site to be a virtual post office where customers can buy stamps, change their addresses, put mail on hold, print and pay for mailing labels using our Click-N-Ship feature, track shipments, and request pickup of Express Mail or Priority mail with carrier pickup service.
With Click-N-Ship, introduced in March, customers can print shipping labels, with or without postage, at any time and receive electronic confirmation services. As with other online transactions, postage is billed to the customer's credit card.
New self-service kiosks, called Automated Postal Centers, are being added to 2,500 locations nationwide this year. The kiosks, which use the technology of automated teller machines, let customers weigh and mail letters and packages up to 70 pounds without having to wait for a sales associate. Any denomination of postage can be purchased, and the centers accept debit and credit cards. The kiosks also offer a variety of other services, including ZIP code lookup, mailing label preparation, Certified Mail return receipts and Delivery Confirmation.
Carrier pickup online notification provides the ultimate convenience in sending packages. A request for carrier pickup can be arranged online at www.
carrierpickup.usps.com. As long as a package is ready before the carrier arrives, we will pick it up, as we always have. It also provides an option for returning catalog and online merchandise purchases.
The Postal Service lets customers choose whether to make an in-person visit or conduct business online. Some people like going to the post office to do their business in a traditional way. Others like the ease and convenience of online transactions. We are working hard to provide greater access to postal products and services wherever our customers are at home, at work, where they shop, at the post office and, of course, online at www.usps.com.
Jaffer is the U.S. Postal Service's vice president of public affairs and communications.

Q & A Library
Discontinuing Anti-Depressants?
I would like to try to stop taking the anti-depressant Effexor. Is it addictive? How do I stop? I find if I miss a dose for two days I get nauseated, lightheaded, my equilibrium is off, and I hear swooshing in my ears. Is there a way to get off anti-depressants safely?
Answer (Published 7/23/2004)
Effexor (Venlafaxine) is an anti-depressant that is also used to treat symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (chronic, exaggerated worry and tension - not garden-variety normal anxiety). Strictly speaking, Effexor is not addictive, but there have been reports that discontinuing the medication can be problematical. The drug's literature warns that at least five percent of patients who try to discontinue Effexor develop weakness (asthenia), dizziness, headache, insomnia, nausea and nervousness at twice the rate of those taking a placebo. For these reasons, you should be weaned off the drug gradually by your physician rather than trying to stop it suddenly on your own. This process may take several weeks, depending on how long you've been on the drug as well as the dosage prescribed.

The Weil Vitamin Advisor for Depression - Left unchecked, mild depression can become debilitating. The good news: proper diet, lifestyle and supplements can be beneficial. Start your free evaluation now!
Effexor treats depression by acting on two neurotransmitters involved in depression. It is structurally different from other anti-depressants, including the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac and Zoloft. In addition to affecting the absorption of serotonin like the SSRIs, it also acts on the norepinephrine system. Unlike older medications that act on these brain chemicals, Effexor has relatively few side effects.
While you're tapering off the medication, try to get regular aerobic exercise, which I highly recommend as a treatment for depression. Some talk therapy or counseling can also help. And I suggest increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish such as salmon and sardines, or supplementing with fish oil capsules. Researchers aren't exactly sure why, but these fatty acids may correct overactive cell signaling in the brain, which appears to be linked to depression. Also, avoid caffeine, which can worsen symptoms.

Hey Kriesi team,
I ned to revisit this topic because I thought I had the fix, but as it turns out I do not. I originally opened a tick (http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -top) and in most current browsers that works perfectly. But in some older browsers, it does not. On my MacBook Pro (Safari 6.0.5 OS 10.8.4) but on my iMac (Safari Version 5.1.7 OS 10.6.8) I do not even see the scroll to top icon thus the fix does not work. Do you have any ideas? My client may be switching to Gravity Forms but I am concerned about that also if there is scrolling involved.
Thanks for the help,
ScottAugust 2, 2013 at 4:18 am #132618
It does scroll to top. I tested it on Windows 7 machine using Google Chrome. Let me tag the rest of the support team.
IsmaelAugust 2, 2013 at 5:20 am #132619
Hi Scott,
With Safari, Chrome and Firefox past versions of browsers are not really supported individually. Specifically with Safari we would have to have the hardware and iOS just to test for it since Apple no longer provides downloads of the browser outside of the Appstore so it isn't even possible to test for older versions like we would for IE or even installing older versions of FF or Chrome.
DevinAugust 10, 2013 at 11:00 pm #132620
Thanks Devin and Ismael. I noticed today on my iMac that the scroll to top appeared as a blip. I see that this issue is also in the theme requests so maybe a solution might be found. I'm assuming it's a JS issue.
Thanks for the great support,
ScottAugust 11, 2013 at 6:51 pm #132621
What version of the theme are you using? Have you recently updated and if so did you re-add in the change you made previously from the other post?August 12, 2013 at 1:15 am #132622
I am using the latest version, 1.9.1. And I did add the change but not until I tried it again on my old iMac. Funny thing, when on the older iMac, every once in a while, when I'm viewing the Enfold demo, I will see the "top the top" icon appear. Weird.August 12, 2013 at 9:13 pm #132623

Below is a list of some of Jeff Holmes' upcoming appearances. For booking info contact firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the contact page
upcoming in June selected:
Monday June 13th 7:30 – 10:00 PM Jeff Holmes Big Band featuring Dawning Holmes, vocals at The 121 Club 116 Pleasant St Easthampton, MA no cover June 13th
Saturday June 18th — Jeff Holmes Piano with Paul Winter Consort see details below 4:30 AM!
SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION, June 18
On Saturday morning, June 18th, at 4:30am, the Consort and I will present our 21st annual Summer Solstice Celebration at New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine. [ Buy Tickets ] We will be premiering new summer music, interwoven with traditional pieces from our repertoire that we feel are appropriate to this acoustic adventure. The audience will be seated in the round, under the 150-foot dome of the Cathedral.
Summer Solstice is one of the great turning points of the year, when the sun is at its peak and the days abound with the promise of life's fullness. It is a serenely powerful time in which the beauty of the natural world can infuse our spirit, bring us alive to the present, and perhaps awaken a deeper sense of relatedness to the greater community of life, and to the Earth, and perhaps, to the cosmos.
In the same way that these longest days of the year in June are the polar opposite of December's longest nights of the year, the simplicity of this all-acoustic Summer Solstice concert is in total contrast to the more theatrical Winter Solstice Celebrations we have presented for many years.
It happens that Father's Day falls on Sunday June 19th, so our Summer Solstice Celebration on Saturday the 18th will be a kind of prelude. Bring your Dad!

Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Alfonso Soriano had three hits including a two-run HR and Carlos Silva threw five innings of shutout ball, as the Cubs blanked the Colorado Rockies 2-0 before 10,005 fans in Cactus League action at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park in breezy & (mostly) sunny Mesa, Arizona, this afternoon.
This was the last Cactus League game for the Cubs, although they will be staying in town for a couple of more days while playing pre-season exhibition games with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
2010 Opening Day for the Cubs will be Monday in Atlanta.
Carlos Silva got the start for the Cubs today, and Jeff Francis was the starter for the Rockies. Both threw five innings of shutout ball.
Although Silva did not allow a run, he did give up six hits in his 5.0 IP (plus one batter faced in the 6th). He benefitted from some big defensive stops (one of which was Silva himself catching a hot-shot liner on the mound), but he also absolutely shattered a bat into slivers with one of his heavy sinkers. He also retired seven men in a row at one point between the 2nd and the 4th (6-3, P-6, 1-3, Ks, 1-3, F-9, L-7), his best stretch today.
Silva was relieved by Carlos Marmol in the top of the 6th, after allowing a lead-off single to Ryan Spilborghs on his 75th pitch of the game (48 strikes, 5/8 GO/FO). Koyie Hill then threw out Splilborghs trying to steal 2nd base, and Marmol struck out Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki (both swinging) to end the inning.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the 6th, when Derrek Lee roped a lead-off double off Rockies RHRP Matt Daley that sailed over CF Dexter Fowler's head. Then after Aramis Ramirez and Marlon Byrd struck out swinging, Alfonso Soriano clubbed a two-run HR over the LF fence. And that's all the runs the Cubs needed.
Jeff Samardzija faced only two batters in the 7th (L-7 and a single) as Manager Lou Piniella apparently just wanted The Shark to throw two days in a row at least once during Spring Training (Samardzija was moved back to the bullpen last weekend). LHP John Grabow relieved Samardzija with one out and promptly walked lefty-hitting Ian Stewart to put runners on 1st & 2nd, before striking out Jonathan Herrera (looking) and getting PH Jason Giambi on a 3-1 inning-ending ground out.
RHP Jeff Gray was brought up from minor league camp and worked the 8th (21 pitches - 14 strikes), getting into immediate difficulty when he walked Dexter Fowler and allowed a single to Ryan Spilborghs to lead-off the inning. But then Gray retired the next three batters on an F-7, a 9-6 FC (a bloop that fell between Mike Fontenot and Kosuke Fukudome in short RF, but Fukudome was able to quickly pick-up the ball and force the runner at 2nd base), and an inning-ending 4-3 ground out.
Acquired from Oakland in the deal that sent Jake Fox and Aaron Miles to the A's, Gray was a contender for a Cubs bullpen slot coming into Spring Training, but he missed about a month after suffering a strained groin the first day he threw off the mound in February, and he just never got caught up. But he will likely be one the first Iowa relievers considered for recall in case of Cubs bullpen failure.
Esmailin Caridad pitched the 9th (12 pitches - 9 strikes), and induced PH Melvin Mora to bounce into a game-ending 5-4-3 DP after allowing consecutive one-out singles to Eric Young, Jr and Jonathan Herrera that put the potential tying run on base.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
thanks again phil...hope you had a good ST season.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
I haven't seen Silva pitch this year and I realize he's everyone's dude to hate but I remember another big sinker baller who had a few decent seasons. Wrigley is a good place for a guy with a really good sinker. Hope springs eternal. If Alf can golf a few out over the left field fence this year that would be nice, too, but I'm not convinced yet he can hit a curve ball to save his life. If Rudy can fix that he'll deserve some new award.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
He looked okay today. Just okay. I mean at least come to camp in shape, or people will get the impression you just don't give a shit. His stuff, it didn't have a lot of giddyup on it, but he was staying away from the center of the plate. He has a nice, long arms and a nice downward angle to his delivery. It's easy to see why they drive those into the ground.
All in all, I'd say he is almost as good as Marquis. Sweet dreams, TCR.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Thanks, Ryno. Well, I guess that's not so bad for a 5th starter, which Fangraphs argued recently doesn't even really exist.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Thanks Arizona Phil for a wonderful job of bringing spring training to life for all of us.
Now that they've completed their Mesa season, who had the most impressive spring as far as you are concerned, who surprised you the most and who was the biggest disappointment of spring training?
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
You make spring training better for everybody else.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Another ST under the belt and you make it enjoyable AZ PHIL!
Thanks again, and thanks for the Chad Tracy call!

jake fox once again catching for the A's...this time in the 7th. they really want him to break with the team.

Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
With S.T. winding down, it will give Az. Phil more time to concentrate on finding the Cubs a couple of "blue chippers" at Extended S.T.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
I love all of Phil's reports, but to be honest, the most valuable to me are those in EXT and AFL. Beat reporters cover some of the ST games and activity, but there is just about a complete blackout of the low minors during and after the season.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
DavidP, I couldn't agree more.
The only thing that pisses me off about AZ's reporting is that sometimes he forgets to include the attendance figures during those EXT and/or AFL games.
But seriously, yes, there is no other resource I'm aware of regarding the team's minors.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Hagsag - did you get my email reply?
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
DavidP, I got it.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
Arizona Phil or anyone else who'd like to chime in,
I know that Tyler Colvin has zero walks this spring and has a history of low walk totals in his minor-league career. My question is, are there good examples of good/great hitters who have a similar approach at the plate and have been successful? Especially guys who are more of a spray hitter than HR hitter? Most of the guys I can think of like that are power hitters with an all-or-nothing approach (HR or K) at the plate, but this isn't of course Colvin's style as a hitter.
I can almost smell Opening Day! Go Cubs Go...
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
I'm not an expert, but Jacque Jones seems like an easy comp to Colvin. Low BB%, relatively high K%, hits with some pop to all fields, likes to swing early, above average speed, decent center fielder when healthy. That may not sound so great, but Jones would've been much more appreciated his time in Chicago if he'd been playing out his league minimum and arbitration years rather than coming in as a free agent.
Re: Soriano Blast Is All Cubs Need
j.jones...another in a line of players who bring to light some of the racist crap people have to deal with @wrigley playing the OF.
...and another person some people choose not to believe.

The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....
@Dusty Contreras if it's a Lester or Arrieta start. TLS is good PH too. You also forgot about Heyward, assume Fowler is CF.
I expect Soler to get optioned as well when activated and Cahill to replace Grimm. It wouldn't surprise me if Coghlan and/or Soler is included in a trade.
Maybe Coghlan is up to see if he can get on track before someone acquires him.
This move could also be to assure that we have as much OF depth as possible to maximize Joe's ability to rest players in September once we've clinched.
Maddon basically said as much...Fowler still kind of sore, they're being proactive, etc.

And now we see even in the HERNANDEZ case, pot was involved. It's funny how often I prove it is involved in most bad situations, yet the libs in denial insist otherwise.
Jul 9, 2013 12:28pm
I was coming in here to object, but then I see you're anti-pot.
Okay then, carry on.
Jul 10, 2013 9:49am
Drug dealers get murdered all the time. If pot was legal you wouldn't have black market dealers you stupid fucking imbecile.
Jul 11, 2013 2:29am
Wrong, as usual.
Jul 11, 2013 2:50am
Very convincing argument.
Jul 11, 2013 2:56am
Almost as convincing as yours. After all when people have good arguments, they indeed resort to attacking people and all.
Jul 11, 2013 3:47am
now, if it could be shown that he was addicted to meth or crack cocaine, then maybe the "dangerous" part might apply. Those drugs are know to amp up someone, and if they practice physical aggression regularly, that will be even worse. Killing someone in a fight is still hard with just your bare fists, but meth would certainly stack the deck for a bad outcome.
But pot? Pot does not make people aggressive, it makes them mellow. Puts them to sleep. Or makes them crave sweets.
Jul 11, 2013 3:54am
According to fleeting you're an "imbecile" because making all drugs legal would prevent murder, of course. I mean I'm sure all the ones currently dealing would be great, nice, friendly citizens if they were legalized, of course.
Jul 11, 2013 4:12am
Did I say "make it legal?"
Don't put words in my mouth, oh Mayo Wan.
Jul 11, 2013 4:16am
Read. I said fleeting (who you know is someone that doesn't like you and is too scared to admit who it is, likely odummy, though) thinks they should be illegal, so you saying those other drugs ARE DANGEROUS means you're an imbecile according to him/her, ie you should say those hard drugs ARE ok to make legal or you're an imbecile by dummy logic.
Jul 11, 2013 4:38am
Nice one, Mayo. Hide your insults behind your "guess" as to what someone else "might" mean or think about me.
Jul 11, 2013 4:44am
Just pointing out how childish it is for you to always take your enemies' sides against me and as usual; you didn't understand what I was even saying. Just don't tell me again you don't like odummy, nsert, etc... since you always agree with them.
Jul 11, 2013 4:48am
I have no thoughts about MsOtis one way or another smashingmayo. She does seem to be intelligent and thoughtful, unlike yourself.
The story in your link, you stupid fuck, is about someone allegedly killing a drug dealer. It doesn't have a goddamn thing to do with pot being a drug that makes people aggressive or more sedate. You simple moron.
Jul 11, 2013 4:50am
Wrong. Pot was involved. End of story. Please show us, smart one, where in the title or description I said it's ONLY dangerous in one way. You calling someone else stupid is interesting.
Jul 11, 2013 4:58am
I see. You're making no point at all. There was probably a car involved also.
Cars are involved in all drive-by shootings. Interesting, isn't it?
Jul 11, 2013 5:29am
I wasn't taking anyone's side "against" you. What an egotist you are!
I have an opinion that differs from yours. End of story.
Jul 12, 2013 2:44am
Weong. ANd fleeting is grasping at straws just like prosecutors in a zim case. And dumbly backed up my point by admitting pot is to crime as driving is to a car. Thanks for agreeing.
Jul 12, 2013 3:17am
No dumbfuck. My example was that pot is to crime as cars are to drive-by shootings. Simpleton.
Jul 12, 2013 3:23am
same.thing.idiot. Let me spell it out to you: since ALL drivebys would involve a car, you're AMDITTING all criems involve pot. Get it now, genius?
Jul 12, 2013 4:28am
Wow, you really are a fucking dumbshit. Not all cars are involved in drive-by shootings, just as not all crimes involve weed. How motherfucking stupid can one Tennessee redneck be? Holy mother of God you're a motherfucking stupid imbecile!! It's a real fucking shame your mom and her brother couldn't resist fucking each other in the barn 37 years ago.

Bucking tradition: Woburn not a links venue
Players react to the unusual Woburn Golf Club, site of the Ricoh Women's British Open.Well we're here at Woburn Golf Club for the fourth of the LPGA tour's five major championships This season. Yes, the 40th Edition of the RICO Women's British OPEN is taking place in the English county of Buckinghamshire just about one hour northwest of the capital city of London. And I have to tell you, this is incredibly special week for Woven Golf Club not only Only is it the tenth time they're hosting this event, it's the first time they're doing so since they gained major championship status back in 2001. And it will be the first time a women's event has been played on the Marker's course here at Woburn golf club. There are three different golf courses, The Marquez is the one that was used for the British Masters that Matthew Fitzpatrick went on to win on the European Tour last year. Not only that, it is the only major championship of any kind to be staged at this golf club. So, everyone here at is incredibly proud. As for the golf course though, it's not the typical layout you would expect for a British Open, we're not near the coast here, we're very muchit's just all about placement. It's definitely not your traditional length style golf course , it's more treeline. But it's in great shape for us so I'm looking forward to the week. I'm really excited to be here. It's my second RICOH Women's British Open and I love the course this year. It's not the traditional lake style and Kinda more Treeline, which I won my first major on, and also my two other LPGA Tour wins are on Treeline courses, so definitely some good vibes and good feelings going into the week, so I'm excited to tee it up on Thursday. I was expecting pot bunkers in the fairways, and firm and fast, and it really reminds me of the Canadian Open or any tournament we play in Canada. Treeline's and Very Americanized I'm loving this warm weather, hopefully the rain stays away and then we'll feel like were in America. I love the golf course it's very normal to what we normally play, it's not lynx which is tougher for us to come over and play so I'm excited for the week So we've only had two American winners so far this season on the LPGA Tour . Lexi Thompson over in Thailand and Brittany Lang, of course, at the US Women's Open. But this week could pose a wonderful opportunity for another American lady to get it done on what is a tree-lined parkland golf course here at Woburn Golf Club. And well, how special it would be the week after they were crowned the best golfing nation
Haigh talks Baltusrol course setup for PGA
Kerry Haigh, Chief Championships Officer of the PGA of America, answers questions about the course setup at Baltusrol for the PGA Championship.not anticipate really pushing those tees forward on those. I think the golf course just Sets up beautifully, they were designed as two par fours, and based on yesterday's long drive contest, some players may almost be able to reach it from the tee we're playing. So no intention, that green is the most severe green on the golf course , the second hole, and The strategy on that hole is to hit it your second shot to the right part of thatright tee, which we did not do so in 2005. So this golf course is just you don't need to do anything with it. It is so good. It's just that, just let the players play the golf course .

Carey, is a philosophical question about the course again. 17 and 18 obviously present to the dynamic finish for here unique to most majors. How do you approach that? And do you try to, particularly obviously with the idea of perhaps using an on 17, is there something that you will be doing to try to make it even more exciting so to speak as the championship comes to a conclusion? Yeah, as you said, it's unique. It's the only course That we play a major championship on that finishes with two par fives. So you have the first four holes are really challenging, tough holes. So that's the golf course , there's nothing we're gonna do about that. It's unique to Baltusrol but certainly you always know in the back of your minds, well we have two par fives to finish so Hopefully there are scoring opportunities. But there's plenty of other scoring opportunities, too, out there. So now, you just a choose a golf course and design the architecture, and I can't wait to start! Follow up? Yeah, sorry. So you don't do anything, though, to kind

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel will host The Diamond Ball, an evening of inspiration committed to saving lives on Saturday, November 9, 2013.
The mission of The Diamond Ball is to raise funds for animal charities that save lives. The beneficiaries of the 2013 gala are Friends of Orange County's Homeless Pets (FOCHP) and the Wounded Veteran Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).
"The Diamond Ball is our first extension from our successful two seasons of Yappy Hour," said General Manager Bruce Brainerd. "It takes our passion for supporting animal-related causes to the next level. Our responsibility extends beyond the day-to-day hotel operations and supports one of the many meaningful causes that our community and neighbors are passionate about," he added.
Canine Companions for Independence helps veterans put their lives back together after being injured by providing assistance dogs that help them regain independence. FOCHP helps make homeless and unwanted pets more adoptable and provides them with a forever family.
"Having FOCHP and CCI together as beneficiaries solidifies our vision that it's not just about people saving animal's lives; it's about how animals save people's lives too," added Brainerd.
Held over the Veteran's Day Weekend (Saturday, November 9), The Diamond Ball tickets are $250 per person. The evening includes a silent and live auction, and a four-course dinner presented by Executive Chef Pedro Contreras. The evening also includes The Diamond Drop Extravaganza, an opportunity where guests can donate gems and jewelry in support of the cause.

Hey guys & gals!
First off thanks for taking the time to help me out with this, I am still pretty new to WP and am using it for my graphic design portfolio.
I'll try my best to describe what I am trying to accomplish.
In my theme, I have the layout setup to show 4 column posts and I would like to have additional posts show directly below (which they do) but without a huge gap in spacing like I am currently getting.
It's wierd, if you go to my site currently, you can see that the 5th post "WHAT THE FUBAR" is doing exactly what I want it to, but the other 3 posts, "C&W" "ALLPHASE" and "ELITETECHS" are almost being pushed to the bottom of the page with a huge gap in between them.

I am rendering to a texture through a framebuffer object, and when I draw transparent primitives, the primitives are blended properly with other primitives drawn in that single draw step, but they are not blended properly with the previous contents of the framebuffer.
Is there a way to properly blend the contents of the texture with the new data coming in?
EDIT: More information requsted, I will attempt to explain more clearly;
The blendmode I am using is GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA. (I believe that is typically the standard blendmode)
I am creating an application that tracks mouse movement. It draws lines connecting the previous mouse position to the current mouse position, and as I do not want to draw the lines over again each frame, I figured I would draw to a texture, never clear the texture and then just draw a rectangle with that texture on it to display it.
This all works fine, except that when I draw shapes with alpha less than 1 onto the texture, it does not blend properly with the texture's previous contents. Let's say I have some black lines with alpha = .6 drawn onto the texture. A couple draw cycles later, I then draw a black circle with alpha = .4 over those lines. The lines "underneath" the circle are completely overwritten. Although the circle is not flat black (It blends properly with the white background) there are no "darker lines" underneath the circle as you would expect.
If I draw the lines and the circle in the same frame however, they blend properly. My guess is that the texture just does not blend with it's previous contents. It's like it's only blending with the glclearcolor. (Which, in this case is <1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f>)

In a study published in Psychological Science, psychologists say when we're uncomfortable we turn to things that will easily comfort us.
"It doesn't work to fix anything, but at least it makes us feel better for a second, "said Dr. Joe Rock with Cleveland Clinic. "And when we're feeling uncomfortable we're not thinking about what's going to happen in a month. We're thinking about 'I'm feeling crummy today and I want that to change.'"
Researchers looked at the eating habits of people in 30 U.S. cities with NFL teams, studying them for two seasons, and compared them to cities without NFL teams.
Results show after a loss people in cities whose team lost on Sunday eat 16 percent more saturated fat and 10 percent more calories, but people in cities whose team is victorious on Sunday eat healthier, taking in 9 percent less saturated fat and 5 percent fewer calories.
"I think what's happening here is that they eat more normally because they don't need to eat unhealthily," Rock said. "Instead of eating high-caloric, fattening, sweet food in order to feel better they can talk about the game and that makes them feel better."
Researchers said fans should shift their focus to what matters most in their lives - like family. Rock also recommended fans put together a 'game plan' in the event of a loss.
"Just realize you're likely to do some things that aren't going to be great for you tomorrow if your team loses," he said. "Be aware of that and maybe jot down some alternatives. I realize I'm going to eat too much, maybe I won't pack some of the stuff, maybe I won't have some stuff at my desk tomorrow."

Columbus Lions Indoor Football
Media Relations Director
KNOXVILLE, TN (May 12, 2012) – For the second time less than a week, the Columbus Lions (5-3) of the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL) escaped the jaws of defeat thanks to a last second field goal from their place kicker with this week's hero being newly signed Chandler Brooks.
"I'm not sure how we have been getting so lucky in the last seconds of these games," says Columbus Lions Head Coach Jason Gibson. "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."
On Saturday, Knoxville and Columbus managed to tie on six different occasions with the clubs starting off the 1st quarter in a dead heat before the Lions would jump out to an early 21-14 lead at the end of the 1st quarter.
Not wasting any time, the Hawks tied up the score at 28 when starting QB Willie Copeland hit receiver Cedric Jones on a 10-yard touchdown pass. From there, Columbus would score just their second and final string of back-to-back touchdowns with QB Randy Hippeard tossing his third passing touchdown, a 25-yard hook-up with London Crawford followed up by a QB keeper giving them their largest lead of the night at 15 points.
In the final minute of the first half, Knoxville scored two late touchdowns one of which included the second of four rushing touchdowns for Cassen Jackson-Garrison pulling the Hawks within two. In a bit of foreshadowing, newly signed Lions kicker Chandler Brooks nailed a 21-yard field goal as time expired to give Columbus a 39-34 halftime lead.
In what proved to be a quick third quarter, the Lions got their only points of the quarter once again riding the leg of Brooks as he connected on another field goal this time from just 19 yards out to extend the lead to eight. That lead was quickly evaporated as Jackson-Garrison punched in another rushing TD and coupled with a successful two point conversion, the Hawks and Lions were snarled up at 42.
Towards the middle of the 4th, the two squads were knotted at 49 with Columbus driving only to fumble a Center-to-QB exchange recovered by Knoxville's Chance Talbert. But just four plays later, defensive back Anthony Merritt hauled in his second INT of the night and on the ensuing drive the Lions broke the 49-all tie when QB Randy Hippeard snuck in for his third rushing TD.
Unfortunately, the extra point attempt by Brooks sailed wide left giving Columbus just a six point lead at 55-49. With just 14 seconds remaining, Knoxville again tied the score when receiver Ryan Schuck recovered a fumble in the end-zone leaving his squad a chance for a potential go-ahead PAT attempt. Having already gone a perfect 5 for 5 on PAT's, all kicker Alex Walls needed to do was make it six and the Hawks would have taken the lead for just the second time all night.
Walls kick sailed wide right leaving the Hawks and Lions tied at 55. Walls also missed the ensuing Uno attempt and Columbus quickly got two pass plays off before setting up the potential game-winner by Brooks.
Signed mid-week, Brooks (6'1 175, Auburn) was getting the start at kicker tonight as regular kicker Trey Crum will be out of action for the current three-game road trip due to prior obligations. Collegiately, Chandler gained notoriety last season after an on-side kick attempt off his right leg was recovered by the Auburn Tigers in their opening victory over Utah State.
Up until that last missed PAT, Chandler had been 5 of 6 in extra point attempts and even notched his two Uno's. But it was his final three points that proved to be the most important as Brooks kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to send the Lions home with a 58-55 victory over Knoxville.
From here, Knoxville (1-7) will try and rebound but will have to do so in Lake Charles, LA when they meet up with the Louisiana Swashbucklers (3-5) next Saturday night. Meanwhile, Columbus will make their second stop on their current three-game road trip with next Saturday's meeting against the Richmond Raiders (6-2) giving the winner a leg-up on second place in the PIFL standings.

Headline News
The Columbus Lions announced they will become a member of the Arena Developmental League on Tuesday afternoon. The Lions join the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, who announced their intentions to join the ADL on Tuesday morning, as the first two franchises to commit to the ADL. "As a staff and an ownership group, at all times, it's about the product we put on the field for our fans," said Lions head coach and general manager Jason Gibson. "Our No. 1 priority was moving up and bringing in a higher caliber of entertainment, teams, coaches, and personnel from top to bottom. It's a great opportunity for us, and we felt we owed it to our fans. "Our players need a platform to show what they can do. This league will harness their talent and get guys where they need to be. Some of the best satisfaction for a coach is to see players down the road have success. I'm excited." Both the Lions and Steelhawks have been established indoor football ...

Comeback Cougs: BYU overcomes 25-point deficit to advance over Iona in NCAA Tournament
Harmon's Halftime: BYU comeback displays Dave Roses best coaching job ever
Pres. Obama misses Cougar comeback
In one of the most remarkable games in Brigham Young University basketball history, the Cougars turned what was once a 25-point deficit into a six-point victory over the Iona Gaels, winning 78-72 in an absolutely stunning turn of events.
After a dramatic Western Kentucky-Mississippi Valley State opener, the second of the NCAA Tournaments First Four games was even more exhilarating, and in many ways, more unbelievable. Behind a display of grittiness, hustle, and smarts, the Cougars overcame what felt like an insurmountable lead for the Gaels to move on to face number three seed Marquette on Thursday.
Senior forward Noah Hartsock led the charge with 23 points and five rebounds. His marksmanship was huge in the victory, nailing 10 of 14 from the field. Frontcourt partner Brandon Davies was extremely impactful inside with 18 points and 15 boards.
Iona was led by the nation's leader in assists, Scott Machado. The crafty point guard had 15 points and 10 assists, with nine of those dimes coming in the first 20 minutes.
It was truly a tale of two halves, as explained below.
It was the worst of times: Iona jumped on the Cougars from the opening tap and produced a brilliant showing on both ends of the court. Offensively they were dominant, scoring quickly and efficiently. The Gaels took every opportunity to run on their stunned BYU opponents. Behind an array of smooth forays to the hoop, stellar passing, and precision perimeter shooting, they jumped to a 55-40 halftime lead. Essentially all that could go well, did for Iona.
Conversely, all that could go wrong for BYU, did. The Cougars looked sloppy and awestruck, forcing a lot of questionable shots and turning the ball over to the tune of 13 miscues. They were slow to loose balls and many of the Gael's shots and drives came uncontested.
It was the best of times: In night-and-day fashion, the whole tenor of the game changed quickly as BYU implemented an effective zone defense that baffled and confused Iona. The Cougars held the highest scoring team in the country to a paltry 17 second-half points. In a reversal of roles, Iona could not hold on to the ball and their turnovers led to many scoring opportunities for BYU.
The Cougars actually scored less in the second half — 38 points — than they did in the first, but it was enough to garner the victory.
Bench bringing it: While some of the starters struggled mightily — namely forward Charles Abouo and guard Matt Carlino — the BYU reserves stepped up their game and were integral cogs in the dramatic comeback win.
Demarcus Harrison brought much needed energy and athleticism into the first half and then was part of the unit that made the big run in the second. He scored 12 points off the pine, including a pair of big three-pointers.
He may have been scoreless, but point guard Craig Cusick made his presence known. He orchestrated the offense extremely well en route to a team-high eight assists. He added five rebounds, two steals, and some determined defense that propelled the Cougars in the second half.
Anson Winder, with Brock Zylstra getting the start Tuesday, added eight points in a reserve role.

During development I had DEBUG = True and I got debug tracings. Then I switched to DEBUG = False for testing the 404 / 500 pages.
Now, after I switched back to DEBUG = True I get no tracings, only "Internal Server Error" message.
How do I get those debug tracings back?
Thanks Martin Weberg
